Your example (2) (and arguably (3)) seems like a special case of (6) and it's not at all clear why you're singling out those to particular apocalyptic philosophies, as opposed to say ISIS-style Islamic apocalyptism.
(2) is quite different in that it isn't motivated by supernatural eschatologies. Thus, the ideological and psychological profiles of ecoterrorists are quite different than apocalyptic terrorists, which are bound together by certain common worldview-related threads.
Why should the ideological and psychological profiles be different just because one is "supernatural". I suspect the only difference is that you sympathize with one but not the other.
